a good load to draw a battery down? Perhaps the duty cycle is
too low, don’t have mine handy not look at right now.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">A 12v light doesn't draw that much
current. So will have to be on there for days And then that
might draw it down enough to be able to reverse the charge.
After it has drawn down on the 12 v bulb go to a 6 v bulb.
You need to get it down to "0" to be able to reverse the
charge. Don't worry about connecting a fully charged 12V
battery in parallel with a dead battery. Normal battery
jumper cables are usually not a very big gauge and combined
with the internal resistance of the batteries the current
will be self limiting and not damage anything. If hooking
running car batteries to other dead batteries with jumper
cables destroyed good batteries the battery companies would
be going nuts. In my experience you don't need it connected
very long to get the dead battery voltage up enough to where
a smart charger can take over. I have run into this often
enough after my old "dumb" charger went belly up that I was
on the lookout for an old used "dumb" charger to replace
one that served me faithfully for over 40 years. Just a
month ago I was at an auction here in AZ and danged if there
wasn't one that looked like the one I had. Paid $5 for it so
the world is now back to its normal orbit again. Works like
the old one. Some days go better than others.<o:p></o:p></p>
